Verse 1
[Am] When I look [Dm] back upon my [G] life
It's always [C] with a sense of [F] shame
I've always [Dm] been the one to [E7] blame
[Am] For every- [Dm] thing I [G] long to [G] do
No matter [C] when or where or [F] who
Has one [Dm] thing in common, too
Chorus
[E7] It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a [Am] sin
[F] It's a [Am] sin [F]
[Dm] Everything I've ever done
[E7] Everything I ever do
[Dm] Every place I've ever been
[E7] Everywhere I'm going to
It's a [Am] sin
Verse 2
[Am] At school they [Dm] taught me how to [G] be
So pure in [C] thought and word and [F] deed
They [Dm] didn't quite [E7] succeed
[Am] For every- [Dm] thing I long to [G] do
No matter [C] when or where or [F] who
Has one [Dm] thing in common, too
Chorus
[E7] It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a [Am] sin
[F] It's a [Am] sin [F]
[Dm] Everything I've ever done
[E7] Everything I ever do
[Dm] Every place I've ever been
[E7] Everywhere I'm going to
It's a [Am] sin
Bridge
[Am] Father, forgive me, [Cm] I tried not to do it
[Em] Turned over a new leaf, [Am] then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, [Cm] I didn't believe it
[Em] Father, you fought me, 'cause I [F] didn't care
And I [G] still don't [E7] understand
Verse 3
[Am] So I look [Dm] back upon my [G] life
Forever with a [C] sense of [F] shame

No matter [Cm] when or where or [F] who
Has one [Dm] thing in common, too
Chorus
[E7] It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a [Am] sin
[F] It's a [Am] sin [F]
[Dm] Everything I've ever done
[E7] Everything I ever do
[Dm] Every place I've ever been
[E7] Everywhere I'm going to
It's a [Am] sin
[E7] Everywhere I'm going to
It's a [Am] sin
